Hey, Aidan?
Oh, hi, Blossom! What's up...?
I wanted t'ask you something! But it's... kinda silly... so don't laugh!!
Eh? Why would I laugh? Go ahead, ask, I promise I won't!
Would... would you... t-teach me to play cards!
Of course! Hahaha...
‘Cause, you know, you're so good at it, and I always lose...
Ah, I laughed, didn't I? I'm sorry...don't look like that. I'm only laughing because I'm surprised you were so worried over something like this. It's not a problem! Really!
Really? It's not! Yay! So how do you play so well? Is there a secret trick to it or something?
Actually, no! The way you do it is... ... ...uh...
Uh... what?
W-well...I've never really taught anybody, and it always...came...natural...
Oh... ... ...That's a cheap-y answer. D:
I-I'm sorry!! ;A; I'll learn how to teach you, I promise! Really!
Okey! C: You better. I'm holding you to it!

Poooooke.
Stop poking me.
Fine. Spoilsport.
...
You have very pretty hair. Can I braid it?
...Are you crazy? Why would I let you braid it?
Because it's pretty. And it'd look pretty braided!
I'd look like a tavern wench with braid.
Aw, c'mon, it'd look so pretty! And it doesn't have to be one braid. One braid on each side. Pigtails, I guess. But braided.
...
Please?
...I'd still look like a tavern wench, no matter how many braids you put in....
You wouldn't look like a tavern wench! I promise! <3 You can pull them right out when I'm done if you don't like it.
...You’re not going to let this die, are you?
Nope!
...Fine.
Yay!
Ugh... I'm becoming soft.....
Hm? You say something, Vincent?
Oh, no, nothing at all.
Okay!
Are you almost done?
Mm-hmm! And... done!
...I bet I look ridiculous.
...
Hmm. Not bad.
See? I told you!
...Fine, you were right.
Hee. <3

Hi, Vincent!
...Hello.
Ohhh! You have a kitty-cat! What's the kitty's name?
...The cat's name is Cat.
Ohhh! Well, hello, Cat! You really have a nice kitty. How long have you had him?
Well, I've had her for a few months.... A dear friend got her for me....
Dear friend? I seeeeeee!
It...It's not like that between us....
Are you suuuuuure?
Yeah! I’m not like THAT! He's just my friend.
Okay, fiiine. I believe you.
S-so, how have you been lately...?
Oh, I've been quite good, actually. Yep. Been keepin' busy. What about you?
That's nice. I'm good, myself. I've made another...'friend', if you would like to call it that. He's rather annoying, clingy, and such a wannabe. I hate him. Truly.
Wh-Wha? That's a HORRIBLE thing to say about a friend? Who is this, anyway? I'm sure they can't be as bad as you're saying!
Well, he wants to be like me. Stoic...fierce.... Awesome, apparently. And he was friends with Hatsu before he even knew I was alive, and they came from the same place. But then suddenly Hatsu and him meet, and he hates Hatsu and wants to be me. It...it's just really uncomfortable to me.
That's... really bizarre. Well, does he want to be you in a idolized way or just because he's creepy?
The thing that really gets me is that... I don't know. He's like...stalking me.... And sometimes I feel like he's going to kill me.
You can't think that! If you ever think something bad's gonna happen, just tell me and I'll try to knock some sense into him! Got it?
Yeah, sure.

Alihi Retired
.:{C}:.
... Hm. Where is someone...?
Hm... Alihi? That you?
Blossom! Oh, just the person I needed to see!!
Really? =D Whatcha need?
... This may sound odd, but can you cook?
Of course! Aidan and I would have starved by now if I couldn't. <3
... This may sound like an odd question, but...
What?
Can you teach me how to cook? I honestly can't to save my life and--
Oh, don't worry! I can teach you! Do you know how to cook anything already?
... Not well...
Well, we'll start with basics and work from the ground up! Okay?
A-alright! Thank you, Blossom!!
You're welcome! I don't mind helping you. Friends do that sorta thing!
Hurray!!
Hurray!
Pent
.:{C}:.
"Lord Pent...! Lord Pent, it's me, Blossom...! Do you remember me?"
"Hello Blossom dear its been awhile. You seem shaken up as the others...Please don't worry. I'm sure everyone is fine."
"Aidan's not back yet... He had gone to investigate on the courtyard and he hasn't returned. Luna doesn't know what happened to him."
"I see. Don't worry dear. I'm sure he's fine. He will be back soon. It's getting dark now so he probably took shelter somewhere to avoid being mugged by the thieves and..."
"..."
"Believe in him and he shall return."
"Yeah, but..."
"If you would like to talk about it or maybe just cry on my shoulder I'm here for you Blossom...You remind me of my little Clarine..."
"Really?"
"Much better. No more tears. Yes you do remind me of her. She would cry a lot. Sometimes she would forget what she was crying about. I often wondered if her brother was picking on her but it was always the opposite. He was always at my side trying to comfort her. I do hope they are well."
"I'm sure they're both all right. They're your children, after all. They'd get your determination, and I doubt anything bad has happened to them."
"You are right about that my dear. I'm sure Aidan knows how worried you are for him and he will come back soon. You believe in fate tying people together don't you?"
"...Yeah. I do."

Ephraim
.:{C}:.
Ephraim? That you? :D
Yes? How can I help you?
I wanted to thank you for earlier!
H-Huh? Oh, no thanks is needed. I was just trying to keep you from harms way is all.
Yeah. I can't believe I fell like that! Heh... silly me!
Well, it is pretty hard to spot a ledge like that when your battling so I don't exactly blame you. Although my back does ache a little. x.X
A-Ack! D: I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Was it because I landed on you?
Yea, but don't worry about it. Neither of us were hurt so that's all that matters right?
But your back hurts! That IS being hurt!
....It'll heal in a couple of days, no blood shed at least. ..I think.
Go see a healer! I don't want you to get worse 'cause I fell on you...
U-Uh....
Go!
Eep! O-Okay.
Good! ^o^

Lance
.:{C}:.
Lance, oh, there you are! I need your help with something!
Ah, Blossy, just the person I was looking for.
Could you-- wait, what?
We need...to talk.
What happened? Did I do something wrong?
It's the motto.
...Huh?
The motto! The Team of Teamwork Team motto!
...Motto?
You know what I mean. Anyway, your last attempt on it was deplorable. You really need to get your act together.
What? I don't even know my lines! You never told me them!
It's a team motto! You need to be able to improvise at all times! Anyway, we need to work with the choreography. First off, me and Ganon will do this...*pose*
Ack! W-Watch where you're flailing your hands!
At which point you come in like this...*grabs Blossom*
L-Lance! Augh, no not there! Bad touch!
And as a finish, I'll throw you like this and you'll have to land on Ganon's shoulder! *chucks Blossom up in air*
AAAAIE!
...oops. I wasn't thinking about that tree, Blossy. Well, in any case, think about what I said. You need to rehearse the choreography, and work on your acrobatics. Next time, we want to do it perfectly! Oh, and don't forget your lines! *leaves*
But... Lance! I don't even know my lines! You still didn't tell-- wait, help me down! Th-This is really high up, and I'm in a ski-- Lance, where are you going? Lance? Lance?!
Marina
.:{C}:.
[returns from the bath all wrapped up] Still alive there, kid?
[looks up] Uh? Of course. Did you, um, have a good bath?
It was...interesting, that's for sure. Did you have a good...staying-in-this-room-and-moping, I'd assume?
Moping? That's not it at all. And I did NOT just stay in the room, thanks, I went and got myself some dinner.
Hah, there's hope for you yet. [leans against the wall, still holding her stuff] So what's bugging you? You've barely talked to anyone.
[draws her knees against her chest, tilting her head to the side] Nothing's bugging me. I'm... just tired. That's all.
[smirks] Then you'd better turn around now 'cause by that definition you've been 'tired' this whole journey. I used to lead armies, I know better than that.
... Hmph. [looks at her feet, focusing on them] It's not anythin' you guys can help with, so... just nevermind it. I'll be fine after a full night's sleep.
[shuffles around, withdrawing a sock, and throws it at her] Try me.
Nyeh! [fumbles the sock and catches it, balling it up before throwing it back]
Okay, fine. Try telling me you've had marriage issues before, for a start.
[snort] Marraige? What are you, sixteen?
EIGHTEEN, thank you. [picks up her boot and aims]
[snickers] Eighteen, then. Let me guess, with your mercenary position and his...whatever he does, you never see him.
...No, he's a tactician, actually. And I took a job at the cafe so I could stay in Eyris more often.
[nods] I see. You still never see him, do you?
...No. I don't.
I understand that. I have the same problem with my father.
It's not that he works too much, either. It's... I don't know what to do anymore.
Indecision's one of the fastest ways to end up on the blade of someone's lance. Why did you come along here, then?
Because he left to go traveling again almost two weeks ago, still isn't back, and... I couldn't stand to think of not helping someone reclaim what little family they have.
I see. As I was just telling Roy, family means a lot to me and if I were in her position I'd appreciate any aid possible. It's just, I'm not the only one concerned that your mind isn't where it needs to be, you know?
O-Oh... I've been worrying the others... [pulls her legs against her chest and watches Piers, expression guarded] I'm sorry.
[laughs] Don't be sorry. Fix it. All those guys out there like you. We'd hate to see you wind up dead because you were worrying about your hubby.
It's not like I can exactly do anything, though...
I guess you've got a point there. We're all here for you, though, so remember that. Now... [gestures to the clothes in her arms] You don't mind if I get ready for bed here, do you?
Yeah... thanks. Really. [smiles, then pauses] O-Oh! No, I don't--I don't mind! I-I'll... um... d-do I need to leave, or...
I'm dressed underneath, but I just need to drop these dirty clothes and find something a little more comfortable for bed. Up to you, really.
Oh. I-If that's the case, it's fine.
Okay then. [moves over to her pile of stuff in the corner, drops what she's holding, and starts rummaging through it] So what's his name?
Aidan. Aidan Cheverell.
No way! I had a brother named Aidan.
I don't think he has an older brother, though.
I doubt your guy's from Magvel, either.
We're both from Elibe. His parents are still back there.
[chuckles while picking out a shirt] Well, isn't that sweet.
What?
Hm? Just the fact that you both came from the same place. Seems to be a rare factor in this world...
Oh. We kind of met there, actually, so... it makes sense.
Uh huh. Can't say I've got any significant others, so...it's a moot issue for me.
Mm-hmm...
It's a little surprising, actually. I mean, you're pretty good-looking and you seem to be really nice, so... I don't know, I guess. But I meant what I said.
...Yeah.
[snickers] Well, it's a little more complicated than that, Blossom.
I know THAT, I just... mmph. Nevermind.
[turns toward Blossom, still holding an unflattering white nightshirt in one hand, and drops the gruff tone] No, I mean, it's a little more complicated that that.
But if you-- ...
When did you get breasts like that.
[snickers] About eight years ago?
NO, I mean... you're a BOY. Aren't you? Or... no, you're not, but... I'm confused.
Why are you pretending to be a man?
[slides into the shirt to cover herself] Personal reasons. Nothing sexual, promise. It's just easier for me right now.
A...All right.
...At least you've got an actual chest to wrap. All I'd have to do is put on shorts and change my voice and no one would know the difference.
Oh, come on. You've known I was a woman for twenty seconds and you're already comparing my breasts to yours. Breasts don't make a woman, girl.
You're talking to the one with a smaller chest than a twelve-year-old boy. =.=
[wanders over and sits beside Blossom] Hey, what matters is [prods her chest] inside of here. Got it?
[squeaks and looks down, nodding once] Y-Yeah.
Good. Now, I am going to go over to that corner of the room and sleep, and in the morning you will be in a better mood and I will be a guy again. Work for you?
Uh-huh.
[head-ruffle] Good night, Blossom.
[smiles] 'Night, uh... Piers can't actually be your name, can it.
Marina. Yeah, yeah, Piers, Marina, ha ha funny.
What? ... ...Oh.
Yeah. Good night, then.
